or have'nt you decided yet?

Hi, has anyone experienced the baby with jaundice after 3 weeks of life? My little Rachael was born 3 weeks ago and still looks jaundiced (with total bilirubin 278 and direct one 11). Our pedestrian has ruled out all severe problems that might be the cause and told us not to ...

I just got back from my 16 week appointment and everything looks great!  My
BP was 100/60 (normal for me), and I had only gained 2 pounds since last

Hello everyone!  First, I would like to say that I have lurked here off

to wait over 1.5 hours for them to see due to the incompetence of one
of the receptionists, and another had to page a doctor to see me.

Is it me or am I killfiling more senders/trolls then usual?  Perhaps the
holidays brings out the whacko?

Mom and I had made good time on our drive from Silicon Valley to
the Sierra, and had arrived at the secluded campground just on
the California side of Lake Tahoe with plenty of daylight left.  
Our tent was up and our sleeping bags were rolled out, our

Does anyone know if having a stomach bug could prevent implantation or harm

I had my monthly appointment today at 14w2d, and the heartbeat was around 160.
I have heard people talking about what various rates mean in terms of boy/girl,
but I guess I missed the main information.  Is the rate higher for a boy or for
a girl?  

I have thought of a few more questions of things to come in pregnancy that I
am wondering about.
First, people complain of having to urinate more frequently and therefore
not sleeping well- having to get up so often during the night. When does

Do babies have sleeping patterns in the womb?? I find that he only kicks at
certain times during the day and once at night, usually after dinner.

it's no big deal because 1 out of 4 pregnancies end in a miscarriage
